2 1/4 pounds skinless boneless chicken thighs (about 12)
1 large onion, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh Italian parsley
2 green bell peppers, cut into 1-inch squares
6 whole tomatoes from 28-ounce can, drained, chopped 1 cup dry white wine

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Working in batches, cook chicken until golden brown, about 4 minutes total, adding more oil as needed. Transfer to platter (reserve skillet).
Add onion, garlic, and parsley to same skillet; saut� until onion is soft, scraping up browned bits, about 4 minutes. Add green peppers, tomatoes, and wine; return chicken to skillet. Cover; simmer over medium-low heat 30 minutes. Uncover; cook until chicken is tender and sauce is reduced, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
